Making informed decisions begins with confirming that you are pregnant. Your first step is to make an appointment.
Symptoms of Early Pregnancy
Detecting the early signs of pregnancy is not always easy. There are many
different symptoms, and it is possible to have all or only a few of them. Some
women have all the early signs of a pregnancy, yet are not pregnant. Other
women may only have some of the signs, but are most definitely pregnant.
Thus, the signs and symptoms of an early pregnancy are only signs — not
an absolute confirmation of a pregnancy.
You stop having your period, or you spot slightly when you would have
normally had your period, or you spot when the fertilized egg is implanted in
your uterus.
You experience swollen or tender breasts.
You need to urinate more frequently.
You experience excess unexplained tiredness, and may even need to
nap.
You experience constipation, indigestion, heartburn and/or bloating.
You start feeling sick to your stomach, which often occurs in the morning
— leading of course to the phrase “morning sickness.”
You have erratic mood swings, such as feeling sad, angry or happy for no
discernible reason?
You Have Time. Confirm. Verify. Decide.
